Champion

Players can choose from one of many different types of champions in Infinite Crisis. Each champion is from a different universe. Champions are unique in their own right despite sharing similar qualities. No champion is considered better than any other.

There are six types of champions: Assassins, Blasters, Bruisers, Controllers, Enforcers, and Marksmen. Out of 41 available champions, there are 5 Assassins, 7 Blasters, 8 Bruisers, 6 Controllers, 9 Enforcers and 6 Marksmen.

Champions gain experience as you use them in matches. Upon reaching level 5 and when the champion is bought, their unique Stolen Power is unlocked for you to use on any champion.

Champion Frames can be unlocked by reaching certain levels on the champion: bronze at level 5, silver at level 10, gold at level 15 and diamond at level 20. Additionally, the champion portrait will be unlocked as an account icon when the champion reaches level 20.

All Assassins, Bruisers and Enforcers have melee basic attacks, while all Marksmen and Controllers have ranged basic attacks. Most Blasters also have ranged basic attacks, except Catwoman.

All Assassins and Bruisers scale with Attack Damage while all Blasters, Controllers and Enforcers scale with Power Damage. Most Marksmen also scale with Attack Damage, except Mecha Wonder Woman and Gaslight Batman, classified as Hybrid Damage Champions.

During early May, a bug caused several unreleased champions to be playable, and is confirmed by IC staff. The leaked champions include Deathstroke, Dex-starr, Nightmare Catwoman, Solomon Grundy, and Zod.

Trivia

Champions that are currently free to play are marked with a green triangle at the top-right corner of their portrait in the game client.

It appears that the six champions unlocked during tutorial do not appear on the free champion rotation. During the time when all champions are free to play, their portraits lack the green triangle. Champions otherwise unlocked do have the green triangle, however.

Champions are sorted strictly by alphabetical order according to their full name on the Infinite Crisis site. For example, Atomic Joker is between Atomic Green Lantern and Atomic Poison Ivy. However, in the Infinite Crisis game client they are sorted by their main name, with the Prime universe version being first, and all others directly after them. For example, in this case Atomic Joker is between The Joker and Gaslight Joker. Adding more to the confusion is the fact that the site counts The Joker as starting with a "T", which puts him between Swamp Thing and Wonder Woman, and the client counts his name as starting with a "J", putting him and the alternate versions of him between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy.
